Macdonald Spey Valley Golf & Country

On the banks of the River Spey in Aviemore, a gateway to the Cairngorms National Park. Minutes from Cairngorm Brewery, Craigellachie National Nature Reserve and Rothiemurchus Estate, with easy access to skiing, water sports and scenic drives. Self-catering and pet-friendly — ideal for golfers and outdoor adventurers.

About 95 self-catering apartments and rooms feature fully equipped kitchens (fridge-freezer, oven, microwave), microwaves, electric kettles and satellite TV. Set against a mountain backdrop and ancient Caledonian pines, the grounds offer riverside walks and plenty of space for pets. Limited housekeeping keeps stays flexible.

Take a dip in the indoor pool, work out in the fitness centre or hit the outdoor tennis court. Two golf courses (9‑hole and 18‑hole) run along the riverbank and through the pines. Free self-parking and wide grounds mean easy arrivals and river-banked mornings before you head out to explore.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected across the property.

An on-site restaurant serves satisfying meals and a bar/lounge is ready for drinks after a day on the courses or trails.
